Under the suspected cancer pathway, a pathway starts at the point of suspicion (for example when a GP makes a referral) and this is when the recorded waiting time starts. The pathway is closed, and their waiting time ends, when the patient starts their first definitive treatment, is downgraded (told they do not have cancer), chooses not to have treatment or if the patient dies. This data collection is based on closed pathway data (pathways that have started their first definitive treatment) and measures activity through the number of pathways being treated or being told by a specialist that they do not have cancer, rather than the number of patients entering the pathway.
